Let’s paws for Pets Week 🐾
This is Week 9 of my 52-week OT theme series, one theme, every week, all year long!

For this Pets OT theme, I’m sharing:
• hands-on games and animal-inspired materials
• digital OT activities
• movement and regulation videos
• free therapy resources

It’s a fur-tastic way to target fine motor skills, bilateral coordination, sensory processing, executive functioning, and more without chasing your tail during planning 🐶😉

The Candyland Effect 🍭✨ (just a discussion, not a theory!)

I saw a side-by-side of a 1970s version of Candyland and a modern one, and I couldn’t unsee it from an OT lens.

The older board?
Primary colors. White space. Clear path. Minimal visual noise.

The newer board?
Bright. Busy. No white space. Graphics layered on graphics. The path almost gets lost.

It made me wonder…

Are kids today navigating a world that looks more like the new board game than the old one?

Not just visually, but auditorily, tactilely, even socially.
More lights. More sounds. Faster shows. Brighter graphics. Constant input.

When I think about slower-paced shows like Little Bear and Franklin versus something like Cocomelon, the shift feels similar. The stimuli has changed. The environment has changed.

So here’s the question I’m sitting with:

If the inputs have increased…
How might that shape sensory processing?
Are we seeing more sensory differences or are we just living in a more stimulating world?

This isn’t research. It’s just curiosity and clinical observation.
I’d genuinely love your thoughts from an OT, parent, teacher, or human perspective.

What was your immediate reaction to the two boards?

Can I share the little “secret weapon” that has quietly saved my OT sessions for the past few years?

It’s this Handwriting Legibility + Sensorimotor Self-Reflection Checklist.

I printed it once on cardstock (yes, I probably should’ve laminated it 😅), and it has truly stood the test of time. But what makes it different isn’t just that it’s another checklist; it’s the multi-sensory piece.

Instead of handing students a long list of written rules (that many of them can’t yet read or independently access), each step is paired with a simple hand signal (5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0) giving them a concrete, physical way to remember what to check in their writing.

It turns self-monitoring into something visual, kinesthetic, and accessible!

For my students with lower literacy levels, language delays, or regulation challenges, this has been a game changer. They’re not just being told “fix your writing.” They’re learning how to reflect on it with structure and independence.

If you’re looking for a way to build true self-awareness and carryover into classroom writing tasks, this might become your elite checklist too.

Three new ways to wear what you do every day 🤍

I just added three brand new occupational therapy designs to the shop, each with a totally different feel:

✨ A bold, bright comic-inspired color block for the OT who loves something fun and eye-catching.
📓 A handwriting + lined paper design as a subtle nod to school-based life and fine motor wins.
💙 A soft blue floral (blue willow-inspired) option that feels timeless and classic.

Same profession. Three different vibes.

Whether you lean playful, nostalgic, or polished, there’s one that fits your style!

Executive functioning practice can’t just live on worksheets; it has to feel relevant!

In this sports-themed set, students work through real-life scenarios like planning for a game, organizing a schedule, thinking through multi-step directions, and making decisions with a budget in mind. The tasks naturally tap into planning, working memory, organization, problem-solving, and flexible thinking, but in a way that feels connected to something they actually care about.

What I love most is that it doesn’t feel “babyish,” especially for upper elementary, middle school, or transition students who still need structured support with executive functioning.

And sports is just one theme. The full bundle also includes zoo, food, and travel scenarios, all built around everyday situations that make life skills practice practical and meaningful. You can use them in OT sessions, small groups, resource settings, or even whole-class instruction without a ton of prep.

One of the most helpful visuals I use when explaining school-based OT?
The Pyramid of Learning.

Originally developed by Mary Sue Williams and Sherry Shellenberger, this framework shows how foundational sensory and motor systems support higher-level skills like attention, handwriting, and academic performance.

When a teacher asks,
“Why are you working on core strength instead of handwriting?”

This is my visual.

It helps explain that:
• regulation supports attention
• postural control supports fine motor skills
• sensory processing supports participation
• foundations matter

It gives language to what we already know clinically.

School-based OTs l, do you use this visual when advocating for your role?

If I could only pick ONE intervention to keep in my pediatric OT bag… this might be it.

Magnet tiles + lowercase letter task cards =
✏️ fine motor
🧠 visual perception
🖐 bilateral coordination
👀 visual-motor integration
💬 letter recognition
➕ endless grading opportunities

Same materials. So many goals. So many levels. So much engagement.

What’s your “if I could only pick one” intervention?

“But I don’t have time to print and laminate cards before my sessions…”

Same. That’s why all of my task card sets are PDFs, so you can toggle between cards on a computer, tablet, or even your phone.

No printing or laminating required, and fully teletherapy-friendly. One resource, endless ways to use it!
